The Cisco ASR 903 Refurbished Aggregation Services Router is engineered for service providers and enterprise network operators who require carrier-grade performance in a compact form factor. As part of Cisco's ASR 900 Series, the ASR-903 is purpose-built for metro Ethernet aggregation, mobile backhaul, and broadband aggregation deployments where reliability, scalability, and timing accuracy are paramount.
The ASR-903 supports a modular architecture, allowing network operators to tailor the platform with route switch processor and interface module combinations suited to their specific traffic profiles and service requirements. It delivers robust support for MPLS-based services, advanced QoS, and synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) along with IEEE 1588v2 (PTP) for precision timing — critical for LTE and 5G backhaul infrastructure.
This Refurbished Cisco ASR-903 has been professionally inspected and tested to ensure full operational functionality, making it an excellent choice for organizations looking to maximize their infrastructure budget without compromising on performance or platform longevity. With Cisco IOS XE software support, operators benefit from a consistent, feature-rich operating environment aligned with modern network automation and programmability standards.
WhaleyComm's Refurbished units provide a cost-effective path to deploying Cisco's proven ASR 900 platform across access, aggregation, and edge network layers.

Ideal Use Cases
Metro Ethernet Aggregation
The ASR-903 is well-suited for aggregating metro Ethernet services at the network edge, providing scalable bandwidth and carrier-grade reliability. Its modular design allows operators to scale interface capacity as subscriber demand grows.
Mobile Backhaul (LTE/5G)
With support for IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol and SyncE, the ASR-903 delivers the timing accuracy required for LTE and emerging 5G mobile backhaul deployments. Service providers can rely on this platform to meet stringent synchronization requirements at cell sites and aggregation nodes.
Enterprise WAN Edge & MPLS Access
Large enterprises and managed service providers can deploy the ASR-903 as an MPLS-capable WAN edge or access node, enabling advanced traffic engineering, QoS, and VPN services. Its compact 2RU footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained edge and co-location environments.
